Language:

Carbolite Gero's versatile new TSO rotary / oscillatory reactor tube furnace range incorporates high-quality heating elements and innovative thermal insulation design to achieve first class performance while maintaining both reduced case temperatures and power consumption.

The TSO tube furnace body is split into two halves and hinged at the rear; pneumatic dampening struts at either end provide a smooth opening action. The ability to open the furnace makes it easier for operators to insert vessels, such as reactors, with end flanges that would make them difficult to insert into a non-split furnace.

The TSO rotary reactor tube furnace has been specially designed for the processing or testing of powdered or granular materials at high temperatures. A quartz vessel is fitted within the furnace into which materials are placed. A variable speed drive system rotates the vessel within the heated zone by 315° to create an oscillatory motion. Optional accessory packages offer standard or fluted vessels, and the ability to operate under either air or a modified gas atmosphere.

Carbolite Gero's new tube furnace range is at the pinnacle of furnace design. The culmination of over 80 years of experience in thermal engineering; combining the latest technological developments with solid construction, high-quality components and a sleek, modern aesthetic.

The oscillatory motion of the TSO rotary reactor tube furnace helps increase the surface area of the sample material exposed to the atmosphere within the vessel, helping to speed up reaction times and improve the overall yield.

High quality heating elements

  • Excellent temperature uniformity
  • Fast heat-up and cool-down rates
  • Unsurpassed temperature uniformity along the entire heated length

High quality thermal insulation

  • Low energy consumption
  • Low external case temperature
  • Designed for longevity

CC-T1 Touch Screen Controller

CC-T1 Touch Screen Controller

TSO rotary tube furnaces are equipped with ethernet communications and a programmable controller with 24 segments as standard:

  • Single zone furnaces fitted with Carbolite Gero EPC3016P1 controller
  • Three zone furnaces fitted with Carbolite Gero CC-T1 touch-screen controller

Options

  • Over-temperature protection (recommended to protect valuable contents and for unattended operation); 1600°C models are equipped with this option as standard
  • A range of sophisticated digital controllers, multi-segment programmers and data loggers is available. These can be fitted with RS232, RS485 or Ethernet communications. More Information.

TSO Rotary Reactor Tube Furnace Range Modified Atmosphere

The Carbolite Gero TSO rotary reactor tube furnace range may be equipped with gas connections to accommodate modified atmosphere applications.

Options

  • Standard or fluted reactor vessels
  • Gas connection kit to enable operation under modified atmospheres
  • Inert gas package modules allow for the use of up to 3 non-reactive gases (available with either manual or automatic control)
